Morphology

tekki = techie (transparent) = tech + ie

The word is a straightforward orthographic/spelling variant of 'techie' (tech + -ie), so its meaning is directly predictable from the base.

Etymology

Tekki is a spelling of techie, built from tech (short for 'technology') and the friendly ending -ie that turns a thing into 'a person who likes or works with it'. So a tekki is someone who loves and is very skilled with 'technology'.
